Mom is having a very rough time right now. She had the CT scan done on Monday, which revealed that she has Collitis. I have been giving her Citrucel (she hates it!) and Activia (she likes the strawberry) to help get her bacteria balanced out. Don't ask me how all this happened...and of course...it's a very bad thing for her. She is still very weak from having the problem for a couple of weeks. I gave her pedialite, and tried to keep fluids down her, but she still lost a lot of weight (about 10 lbs)...so now she is just very, very weak and needs to regain her strength.
She wasn't able to walk to the bathroom this morning, so I had to use her walker (it's one of those that she can sit down on if she gets tired) to get her in there. She's so fragile, I'm afraid for her to fall...and I know how easily she can be bruised if I have to grab on to her should she start to fall.
She did eat a good breakfast for me this morning...yogurt (activia), oatmeal, and 1/2 banana. She also drank her citrucil. But...as you can see from the pictures...she just went back to sleep on the couch. She's very listless and weak.
I hope she can pull out of this. I don't know...
